Game Notes
- “Jimmy Butler is not at Bulls shootaround due to illness. Questionable vs. Warriors…(Mike) Dunleavy out vs. Warriors.” — KC Johnson, Chicago Tribune
- “With another win on Tuesday, the Warriors would pick up their first season sweep of Chicago since the 2000-01 season, and in the process extend their current 19-game home winning streak.” — NBA.com
- “Warriors reserve center Festus Ezeli (ankle) is participating in a pretty intense post-practice 3-on-3 scrimmage.” — Rusty Simmons, SF Chronicle
- “The Warriors are 14-0 against the Eastern Conference, the first team since the 1971-72 Lakers to win their first 14 games vs. the East.” — Warriors PR
- “The Bulls have gone 16-3 when allowing fewer than 12 points on the fast break. Only 1 team (Atlanta 24-3) is better in that regard…The Warriors have won 12 of their last 15 home games vs the Bulls,& look for their 20th straight home win…” — Tim Roye, Warriors radio broadcaster
- “The Dubs are 13-1 since Christmas, averaging 118.7 points per game over that span.” — Warriors PR
